MEMOIRS OF TEE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
3. PANSTENON BELLICOSUS new species. 
Female: — Length, 2.10 min. 
Like the preceding but longer and dark metallic purple, the scutellum aeneous; legs 
including coxaa and ventral abdomen excepting at tip yellow-brown; centre of abdomen above 
:at proximal half or more yellow-brown except at extreme base. Antennas as in the preceding 
but the scape yellow. Vertex broad; pronotum large, subquadrate, the parapsidal furrows 
incomplete. Head black-blue or else purple. 
Male: — Not known. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping jungle along a forest streamlet, May 6, 
1913, 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1987 , Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a tag, the antennas and 
hind legs on a slide. 
A second female was captured August 23 by sweeping in forest. 
4. PANSTENON GRACILIS new species. 
Female: — Length, 1.50 mm. 
Almost exactly similar to bellicosus but the vertex is much thinner, the abdominal 
petiole and cephalic two thirds of pronotum and propleura yellowish brown and the head and 
thorax are wholly dark metallic green, the abdomen more broadly black across base and with 
a small round spot at the meson in the yellow just proximad of the metallic black-green 
distal fourth. Also the marginal vein is shorter, the body still more slender. 
Male: — Not known. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping in the forest, August 20, 1913 (A. P. 
Dodd). 
Habitat: Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 1988, Queensland Museum, the above specimen on a tag, the head and hind 
legs on a slide. 
Subfamily SPALANGIINJE. 
Genus SPALANGIA Latreille. 
1. SPALANGIA GROTIUSI new species. 
Female: — Length, 2.20 mm. 
Like auslraliensis Girault, which is subaeneous black, but the pronotum has a line of 
fovea* across it just before tip (caudal margin) and the abdomen is glabrous. Also the 
antenna* are slightly different, the second fnnicle joint a little longer in this species. Neck 
of pronotum scabrous in both species. Abdominal petiole (<J rotiusi) longitudinally striate; 
face with a median line of small fovea) from about the cephalic ocellus to near a point 
opposite the ventral ends of the eyes; also two other similar lines but shorter and originating 
apparently at each antennal insertion and running dorso-mesad to a point a little dorsad of 
the ventral end of the median foveate line; face otherwise glabrous. In australiensis, the 
pronotum is alutaceous and not as rough as the surface of the abdomen. 
Male: — Not known.
